Rich in culture, history, and architectural wonders, the city of Vadodara, Gujarat, must be visited. While it’s famous for such iconic landmarks as Laxmi Vilas Palace and Sayaji Baug, there are hidden and lesser-known attractions that would attract travellers for unique experiences. For those looking to stay around, Banyan Paradise Resort is the best place to balance luxury, comfort, and accessibility to these lesser-known attractions.

Unveiling Vadodara’s Hidden Gems

1. Kirti Mandir: While most throng to Laxmi Vilas Palace, Kirti Mandir is a serene yet historically significant place. Constructed in memory of Mahatma Gandhi and his family, the temple is adorned with carvings and murals depicting India’s independence struggle. The peaceful surroundings give visitors a time for reflection far from the busy city.

2. Tambekar Wada: Take a deep breath and drop into the 19th century at Tambekar Wada. It is a four-storeyed wooden mansion with some stunning frescoes, famous for its stories of the Peshwa era. Artistry and skill will amaze history lovers’ eyes at the architectural marvel.

3. Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park: Within an hour’s drive from Vadodara, this World Heritage Site of UNESCO boasts of ancient forts, mosques, and temples against the dramatic backdrop of hills. A trek up to Pavagadh Hill offers panoramic views and spiritual enrichment at the Kalika Mata Temple.

4. Sursagar Lake

A calm evening at Sursagar Lake is a perfect experience. Taking a boat ride under the light of stars or seeing the enormous Shiva statue reflected in the water is one of the tranquil getaways.

5. Ajwa Water Park and Gardens: Ajwa Water Park is a good attraction for families, with wave pools and adventure rides. Next to the park, there is the Ajwa Garden with illuminated fountains that look spectacular in the evening.
